Rihanna Gives Birth to A Baby Girl, Shares First Photos on Instagram

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their third child, a baby girl named Rocki Irish Mayers, born on September 13, 2025. The singer shared the news on Instagram, posting the caption: “Rocki Irish Mayers. Sept 13 2025.”

She made the reveal on September 24, 2025, with a series of photos on Instagram. In the images, the newborn is swaddled in pink and wears a large bow headband. Another photo shows her miniature boxing gloves tied with pink silk ribbons. The post quickly drew millions of likes and comments, with fans celebrating the family’s new arrival.

The 37-year-old star and her partner are already parents to two sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, 1. Their first child, RZA Athelston, was born May 13, 2022 and named in honor of the Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZA, reflecting the couple’s deep ties to music and culture. Their second, Riot Rose, arrived August 3, 2023 and continued their use of “R” names.

With the arrival of their daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, born September 13, 2025, the tradition continues. Her first name, Rocki, pays homage to her father’s stage name, A$AP Rocky, while her middle name, Irish, adds a distinctive touch.

Public Reveal

Rihanna first confirmed her pregnancy earlier this year at the 2025 Met Gala, where she appeared on the red carpet in a black Marc Jacobs suit-style dress that showcased her baby bump. The look quickly became one of the night’s highlights, solidifying her reputation as a trend-setting figure in both fashion and music.

Later, during a July chat with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of her film Smurfs, she hinted at the couple’s baby-naming tradition, saying: “It’s always going to be an R name. That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over.”

Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky also dropped a subtle clue about the baby’s sex in another ET interview. When asked, “Is that the girl you’ve been waiting for?” he smiled and replied, “It is, man, it is.”

Fans’ Reactions

Fans across social media have celebrated the news, flooding her posts with congratulatory messages. The images of Rocki have already gone viral, adding to the global attention surrounding Rihanna’s family.

While the singer has not shared further birth details, the Instagram announcement and photos underscore her approach of balancing privacy with carefully chosen moments of public celebration.
